I like apple butter on my toast. It reminds me of my great-grandmother for some reason, but I not sure what that reason is. So when I saw this recipe in a magazine (I do not recall what magazine) I knew I had to try it because I love peaches! It is my favorite!! It is so amazing on a piece of hot toast! And amazingly enough my daughter loves it too. She can not smear enough of it on her toast. I have to monitor it when we get it out. So if you are looking for some yummy goodness to spread on your toast, try this recipe.
Peach Butter
Peel and half your peaches. Place in blender and puree. Pour in large pan. For each 8 cups of pureed peaches add:
4 c. sugar
1 t. nutmeg
1 t. ginger
Boil on medium heat until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Laddle into hot jars. Process in hot water bath for 10 minutes to seal.
Tips:
- To peel peaches, pierce skin at the top near the stem and place in boiling water for 30-60 seconds. Remove and place in ice water to stop the cooking process. Skin should peel easy.
- When boiling it takes about 1 hour to thicken.
- I keep my jars hot by filing with about 1 inch of water and placing them on a cookie sheet and setting them in the oven on the lowest temperature.
- This will keep for 2 years sealed and about 3 months in your refrigerator.
